A warm welcome to our 2025 Climate Change-Makers,
Our teams at the OATHE Project, & Youth Impact Challenge are SO excited, and have been busy coordinating many details behind the scenes. We are happy to share that our agenda is finalized, and it is chalk full of workshops, networking, mentorship, prizes & a very real opportunity to begin creating the World's next big climate innovation. Significant efforts were made in scheduling to have times spread out to across different time zones for accessibility. The agenda will be shared in another update and on our Instagram very soon so keep an eye out! We cannot wait to meet you all & learn about the brilliant ideas you come up with, our past challenges were such a blast :)

In particular, the opening gives a good background of the challenge, our expectations/ requirements of you + info on our four challenge themes.
